THE 1956-1957 CAMPAIGN
Although the 1956 campaign may well mean the Stevenson-Eisenhower struggle to most of the U.S.A., to some four hundred Rochesterians THE campaign is the Gallery's annual fall drive in October
for funds and members so vitally needed to carry on its multi-pronged
program of community and individual services. So in the spirit of the
times, we too "point with pride" — to the 1026 displays that were sent
out from the Gallery to area schools; to the 54 special exhibitions
presented at the Gallery, in the Eastman Foyer Gallery and in the
cafeterias of Rochester industries; to the over 500 framed pictures
taken out into the homes of Rochester's ill and aged and into its hospitals; and to the Gallery's special classes for blind, polio and muscular dystrophy victims. We, too, "stand on our record" of service — to
the 1400 adults and children enrolled last year in the Creative Workshop, to the 410 scholarship children from the public and parochial
schools in the fall and summer art classes, and to the 2440 members
who have taken part in the weekly lecture programs and the Lending
Library facilities.
None of these services would be at all possible without the support of an active membership,
for the Gallery has no adequate endowment, nor does it receive any municipal aid which most
cities of Rochester's size and cultural rating have long enjoyed. It is particularly heartwarming,
therefore, that so many members have already replied to the Gallery's 1956-57 appeal and have
sent in their re-enrollments. To all of these — and hopefully to those who have not yet responded,
the Gallery sends a most appreciative "Thank you!"
Mr. Walter McKie is General Chairman of the drive with Mrs. Edward K. Brown and Mr. Richard
Williamson heading the Women's and Men's Divisions. Mrs. Henry Hays, Mrs. Donald H. Kariher,
Mrs. Roy Marks, Mr. John Jordan and Mr. Landis Smith are the Division Leaders. The Special
Gifts Committee, headed by a well-known triumvirate — Miss Jean McCurdy, Mr. William Dennis
and Mr. Fayette Harned, has long been at work, as has the Gallery's standing Industrial Committee
with Mr. Joseph C Wilson as chairman. Mrs. Jasper Willsea is again Chairman of the Suburban
Division and Mr. Harry Wisner is in charge of Auditing Services. This year Mr. William Smith is
Chairman of Publicity and Mrs. Thomas Hawks and Mrs. Cedric Rowntree are in charge of the campaign report meetings.
THE EDITH H. WOODWARD COLLECTION OF SILVER
For the past two years the Gallery has had the very good
fortune to begin the season with an announcement of an important bequest — in 1955 of the Buswell-Hochstetter Collection and this year of an impressive collection of 17th, 18th
and 19th Century silver bequeathed to the Gallery by Mrs.
Edith H. Woodward of LeRoy. Representing a life-time of
collecting on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Woodward both in
Europe and in this country, the 72 items in the bequest were
further carefully selected for high museum quality by Mr.
Peter Guille, now Director of the Sterling and Francine
